    Hello Hamisi, I am just following up to see if you still plan to honor your duty to repay the loan? Many of us lenders usually lend and then when a loan is repaid, we relend that money to others in need. Do you realize that you are affecting other people's chances to receive much needed funding? Please let the lending community know what is going on with your business and plans to repay.

    its been a few months and no payment. What you are doing is bad for the whole service of zidisha and gives a bad name to the rest of the good people

      Hi! Mr. Paulclinton I'm sorry for the inconvenience! its been tough time with my business, my chicks or poultry birds heavily stricken by diseases and left my business almost dead/collapsed but at the moment the stock that I have is coming up well soon I will be able to service my loan well. In addition I had some problems in accessing my Zidisha account as the Zidisha team had made some changes in the web-site with these reasons I was unable to let you know my situations.

    The main reason for the change in my repayment schedule is that my poultry business was infested with diseases and led me to great loss. I have already ordered for another lot which will take over after this. All the same I will look for all possible means to continue with the repaying of the loan no matter what it take.

    Hi! Zidisha community, I wish to thank my donors for their humble contribution towards my loan. I received it and invested it to my poultry business as stated but unfortunately the birds were infested with diseases and so many birds died. All the same this month I have resumed to my normal repaying of my loan as the season seems to be coming up well. Thanks for your patience and may God bless you. By next week I will send you a photo of the new lot of birds to how I'm progressing.

    Hi! Zidisha team,I take this opportunity to thank the entire Zidisha micro-lending group for creating such an opportunity to assist us.My poultry farming is doing well.I really appreciate the loan offered by Zidisha team.So far I have raised six lots of poultry and sold to the market.The market is good only the country's security is poor.Thank God,the fast lot lost only fifty chicks which were attacked by cat but the rest got on well.The market still need much more bigger capital supply it sufficiently and promptly.I have put much more effort on this at-least to supply 400 chicken daily.
    This is just a start but by next year I will have attained this target.
    Thanks so much for this loan boosted me a lot.May God bless Zidisha in advance.
